I drove OP's little brother at a dealer and absolutely loved it. The 7spd and 2.3 are both fantastic. Almost regretted not going with CO too.

I ended up ordering (built on 1/7) an A51 WT. I was bummed I couldn't get the MT. Regretting it. I love this color too.

That's awesome. Even though I will run premium fuel 100% of the time, this isn't my daily driver and I'm not expecting to drag race anyone. I wasn't initially going to Forscan the Sport mode in figuring I wouldn't need it, but if it provides a more spirited experience, I'm all for it.
It doesn't serve any purpose for racing and has nothing to do with fuel. Those pedal gadgets don't do anything you can't do with your own foot, really. It literally just remaps the way the throttle responds to your foot. It feels faster because it requires less foot movement to get going. These ecoboost engines beg to be properly tuned, though.

Yeah I was super bummed and complained about it for a solid week.. Was hoping to get a Black Diamond Mansquatch, but with the pricing it made more sense to get a Badlands (w/o Sas) and putting on my own tires afterwards.

There is something to be said about having a factory warranty for the entire vehicle though, and due to the pricing you probably have the rarest Bronco available other than the 2021 soft-top-delete Wildtrak Broncos that were provided to dealers.
What Wildtrak soft top delete Broncos were provided to dealers? Ours is a 2 door 2021 hard top Wildtrak. I didn't think it was anything special. Did the mannequins that you are talking about come without any top?

Yes, a lot of the dealers were provided with mannequin Wildtraks with hard top deletes on them so they could conserve hard tops for actual customer builds.

Attached is the window sticker from my dealer's mannequin unit (as an example).

The 2 door Wildtrak only came with a hard top. Did the dealer mannequins come with out any tops?

The vast majority of the 4-door mannequin units had a soft top to save hard tops for customers. Obviously all of the 2-door mannequin units had hard tops since 2-door soft top isn't a buildable configuration.

Most of the mannequin units were either Wildtrak or Big Bend, but some dealers got Outer Banks or Black Diamond instead. I don't know any dealer that got a Badlands mannequin unit, but I'm sure some exist.

Just 4 door Wildtrak mannequins could be soft tops

Our dealer got a loaded 4 door Outer Banks in black and we got to drive it over 1000 miles on two different occasions. One for three days and one for a week. The first three days was without doors and the roof pushed back. The second time we left the roof and doors on because the first time it took me 2 hours to clean the dust out before returning it . Our farm is on a gravel road and the first 1/8 mile of our driveway is also gravel.
We only have 70 miles on ours as we picked it up (got lucky) when we went back to Indiana for a wedding. The timing was perfect.
I can only see ours on our garage cameras until Spring. Which its OK cause I want to put mudflaps on it to keep the gravel off the doors and flares. I'm hoping that someone comes up with flaps that will fit with the tube steps.

Dr. Mr. Metal Horses, congrats on your Mansquatch. To honor this historic, long overdue moment, Wide Open Roads would like to reward you with a tee shirt or 3/4 sleeve tee of this vehicle. DM me your address and shirt size. It will look like this.

I felt the same, but over time, I was convinced the 2.3t/7m will be a good combo.

This. I've tried to tell people but have gotten ridiculed. Fine, it's your money.

A good IC coupled with a tune is what you want. I'm looking forward to see the first RS turbo swap too, should be a few cheap HP. It won't be me though, I want to keep the power level stock to maximize economy.
